I din't usually watch this. I'm not a fan but it's something to watch while I'm waiting for Broadchurch Excited

I'm going to see if I can answer any questions. This is a bit too brainy for me Confused

I have a job to grasp what the actual question is most of the time Blush

Not as good as it used to be.  Questions are far too easy.

I'm better than that, I only count mine as correct if I answer before the students.

In last weeks run of old students, the questions were a lot easier, I scored 19 on one night in one of them.

19?! That is seriously good.

Not if you saw the show it wasn't, they were too easy for such a programme.

My personal best was in the days of Bamber Gascoigne.

For starters, the brain recalls stuff a lot faster when you're younger.

There there were questions and pictures on boxing and racing, and I racked up 22 or 23 that night.

19 is the nearest I have been to it since then.

Was tough going last night, Trueblood from St Peters was rapier sharp and it was hard to answer before him (I employ the same 'rules' as CMAT, if you're not in first, it can't count). That said, I enjoyed it, particularly St Peters' period dress - I thought Armitage looked like late 40s Tory MP and Smith had the delicacy of a late Victorian fop, every time he answered a question he looked like he was about to gently cough a little blood into a lace, fragranced hankie.

I'm not sure that the questions were massively easier over Christmas (although they were not at last nights standard), more that the buffers on the teams, like us, took a little longer to get the synapses crackling and dredge up the answers.

It's a young mans game Sad

This week's losing team captain, Bristol Reynolds, is surely set to join MI6 once she graduates in Russian and Czech.

But Bristol University's The Tab, in its profile of the team, throws up some disturbing news for those who remember the late 1970s:

Fourth Year Czech & Russian student Anastasia Reynolds is Team Captain.  In her “chequered past” she was once a receptionist to the drummer from The Clash –- Terry Chimes (aka Tory Crimes), who’s now a chiropractor in Essex.
